The development of sophisticated wound dressings that can both actively aid in wound healing and provide protection is made possible by nanotechnology. With its innovative approaches to increased healing, decreased infection rates, and better cosmetic results, nanotechnology is revolutionizing the fields of wound care and skin regeneration. Advanced wound dressings that stimulate tissue regeneration, offer antimicrobial activity, and alter the wound microenvironment can be made on account of the special qualities of nanomaterials. With an emphasis on their mechanisms of action, advantages over traditional treatments, and potential future directions, we examine the current uses of nanotechnology in wound dressings and skin regeneration.

The current review addresses the implications of these advancements for bettering patient outcomes, with a focus on the field of plastic surgery.
